I just want to say that I feel so privileged to be exposed to both Bob and Paul's expertise on the Ford Model A. My grandfather bought a 1930 Ford Model A Std. Coupe with two-tone green body and black fenders back in the late 90's. Growing up, he always said it was my car and it was going to be my car once my grandfather passed. Now that he has passed, I was a bit overwhelmed about maintaining and preserving the car to keep it in the great condition that it is in. Thanks to Paul Shinn and the amazing Bob Guimarin, I can say now that I am confident that I can provide the proper maintenance and care my Model A needs to keep it on the road for the duration of my life, and I cannot thank you both enough for that. Please keep up the amazing work you do!

Very helpful video, again. Thanks! From my experience, the largest power and performance increase "bang for the buck" is to put on a slightly higher compression head, like the 5.5:1 head that you guys mentioned. With just that one change you will be able to climb hills in 3rd gear that you were not able to climb before. But you do need to be careful not to advance the spark too far with that higher compression head climbing a hill.
@ModelA2 жыл бұрын
I agree!!
@leahbarnacle61382 жыл бұрын
Yes be careful. With a stock head a 28 degree advancement is good, With the 5.5:1 head should only be 26 degrees. I did not know about the 26 degrees when I installed the 5.5 head. Sometimes you learn the hard way. I live in Minnesota and in 2019 we were on a trip to Montreal Canada. We were driving home through the hills in New York around the Finger Lakes area and I pretty sure I damaged the inserts in my engine. We were on some pretty steep grades. I should down shifted to keep the RPM's up and have retarded the spark a little bit more. When I got home the engine did not sound right to me so I took it to the rebuilder to listen to it and we decide to tear it down. Yes the inserts were damaged. They looked like there was lack of oil from to much spark advancement and low RPM's. Thank goodness there was no damage to the crank. We put in new bearing and I have been happily driven in 2020 to Medora North Dakota and in 2021 to Santa Fe NM. See ya down the road, Steve B

This reminded me of times I spent listening to my late grandad telling me about vintage cars when I was growing up in the 60s and 70s. He ran a rural garage for over 50 years and had first hand experience with tearing apart and rebuilding Model Ts when they were considered daily drivers. He had s AA that supposedly ran but I never saw him fire up. Back on the eve of the US entry in WWII, he build a tractor centered around a Model AA motor and tranny, a TT rear, and an A front axle. I drove it around when I was a kid, I hate to call it a doodlebug because it was a purpose built tractor on an Oakland frame and had a massive Twin Cities radiator. I remember he said the motor had 4 ring pistons, which was why he used it. It also had a patched hole in the side of the block from a rod, which was why he had the motor on hand to begin with. I really enjoy this video and am thinking hard about finding an A in a couple of years.

The extra two levers on the cab interior floor would suggest to me that at one time the vehicle was configured as a dump truck. (After first checking for an obvious second gearbox) One lever controlled a small gearbox which engaged the dump box hydraulic pump. ( in the trade a PTO ) The other lever selected box tilt up or down. Many, if not most, truck configurations were done by independent shops so often one can only guess. I had an AA with a vacuum boosted mechanical brake system. I was never sure of its history or origin but it worked quite well.

Picked the one that stood out and very happy. For the car choice: I am biased towards Model As. Ill tell you why… I built a VW engine with all new parts after running low on oil. Built a with brand new EMPI block, pistons, crank and cam, lifters, rockers…i went absolutely nuts on spending. Cost only about 4k. Parts are everywhere and can be repaired quickly with basic tools. Ive daily driven a stock super beetle, a full fender buggy on 33” tires, and a late bay window. They were all initially inexpensive but lost $ on all of them. VW=Solid modern day driver cars. Model A was higher initially but the smiles per gallon are far exceeded. Every thing from driving to wrenching is so classically unique and rewarding. Everything is slower paced including repairs. Repairs are made in weeks instead of days. I think A’s are a bit undervalued right now and VWs are bit over valued today (especially busses) Good luck on your search Old Tanker!

I hope one day I get to be as knowledgeable about something as bob is about the model A! Also, if the car behind you one day gets to be a project on the channel you should call her the queen, reminds me of queen Elizabeth for some weird reason. 😀

Ha! That car behind us belongs to a club member. We just delivered it to her yesterday.

Re wives and cars. Had this conversation with my wife about having old cars. She said "you have old house, cars, old old antique furnature radios, etc. Everything you like is old." She is 8 years younger than me. My reply was,"i married you, didn't I." 33 years later we are still married, and she buys antiques, but still wants a new car.
